So, "debootstrap --variant=minbase" doesn't pull in gnupg or gnupg2, but
without specifying the minbase variant, it does pull in gnupg or gnupg2.


I've also verified that copying the keys into the chroot's
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ instead of using apt-key will work, but it
requires that the keys be in the binary form, rather than ascii-armored
keys.

If we accept that limitation, it doesn't require any dependency on
gnupg*, and we can just copy the specified keys into place, which is
more elegant as far as I'm concerned.

I believe this is supported Debian's oldstable, and fairly old versions
of Ubuntu as well, so I'm inclined to go this route...
